What you did with these kids was fantastic! Your ability to quickly analyze the situation and to “kill 2 birds with one stone” salvaged a possible disaster. You spent the time working on sound, phrasing and musicality while the kids were also learning the pitches, an absolute necessity in a situation like this. Not only did the kids give a fine performance under the circumstances, but you gave them a moving, musical experience that they will remember. The whole point…I have played for many of these festivals and this one was the scariest but I knew they were in good hands.
